Brewers moneyline behind home-field edge and unfamiliar rookie

Back Milwaukee at home leveraging their familiarity with the park and the Mets' lack of experience against Misiorowski.

First 5 innings under with two power right-handers

The under in the first five innings is a viable play given the high-velocity profiles of both starting pitchers.

Jacob Misiorowski strikeout over as a high-variance upside play

Misiorowski’s 9.27 K/G season average makes his strikeout over an appealing high-upside prop.

Live over if Misiorowski’s command wobbles early

Monitor early wildness, as elevated pitch counts for the rookie could force Milwaukee to the bullpen sooner and accelerate scoring.
